The sand traps looked like they were be worked on, then just quite working on them. The so-called practice putting green in half dirt and half grass. And they raised the prices this year on so-called "companionship golf course's and the course conditions are in worse shape ever, and I have been playing golf here in The Villages for over 20 years!

Totally agree with your first point, that Hacienda Hills can no longer be considered a Country Club. What has happened there (and is planned for the future) is totally deplorable. As far as the conditions are concerned, I have to disagree. I have played there three times in the last month and found the conditions to be acceptable, if not a little better than some of the other Championship courses. That being said, I only used the course facilities, not the practice/warm-up facilities. Perhaps they are letting the practice facilities go since the plan is to build a multi-story apartment complex in that area?
